Ecstasy
Date August 9, 1881
"My
children,” said the Virgin Mary, “when crime is at its highest,
when the subjects of the formidable enemy will take their place at
the Centre (i.e. Paris), the terror and the hand of my Son will
already be affecting the walls of this city so guilty - eventhough
there are good people - but they will be victims of crimes and
iniquities.
My
children, do you know the number of those who will escape this
infernal deadly war? This, I dare not utter. (i.e.,
because there will be so few.)
My
children, all Christians who will not abscond to hide in secret
places, those who prefer to water the earth with their blood instead
of going to a country at peace ... the number of those to be
protected is written in the eternal throne. (I.e very few of the
faithful who decide to stay behind in Paris and not flee to somewhere
safe will be protected.) When I look at this figure (i.e. sum),
I can no longer be consoled and my heart is pierced with a thousand
swords. (i.e., because
those who will be protected will be very small.) My
children, there will not escape one hundred, no, not one hundred in
the middle of this huge guilty city (Paris) ... Count
less than twelve, you will have the true figure.
(I.e.
The French translation means count twelve less from the number
one-hundred – only 88 will survive the destruction of the center of
Paris.)
Our
Lady: “Never
was there a pain greater for me. The men will complete up to their
last limits the righteous anger of my Son. While these unfortunates
rush all my people to the grave, then the world will be under the
vengeful lightning of Heaven. (I.e, will the strange thunder and
lightening foretold in other prophecy happen during or after this
persecution / war against Christians? See post #59 St. Joseph - WARNINGS: A GREAT APOSTASY - Strange Lighting ,Thunder, Plagues ) My children, work on
Sundays! ... Soon they will see no more than a few Christians attend
services! The confessionals will be empty ... My children, it is
blasphemy that brings hell on earth. I am in sorrow for the
clergy. I see that, in a great amount and more of priests, the mind
(or spirit) weakens every day. Many pastors are no longer, as were
many of our priests, determined to die in honour of their sacred
ministry." (I.e. They will no longer die for the Faith, and,
they will not be willing to die if necessary to keep the seal of the
Confessional intact as would be expected. This will be revealed o Marie-Julie in the ecstasys for September, click here. )

Ecstasy
Date, August 9, 1881
(Our
Lady voices her complaints to Marie-Julie - possibly a more detailed
version of the text above.)
Our
Lady: "My children, in this unfortunate time, days of
abstinence are no longer kept."
"My
children, work on Sundays is making progress every day." (i.e.,
not that she approves, she means that the worldly acceptance of
servile work on Sundays will make rapid progress day by day.)
"My
children, it is blasphemy that brings hell on Earth."
"My
children, my last plaint, that which puts the sword at the entrance
of hearts! I complain of the clergy... My victims, servants and
maids, I am well in sorrow for the clergy; it is for Me the
greatest sorrow only because for them pardons are so hard to obtain.
The priest's life is so high in grace, the gifts he possesses are
so powerful that, if they were known, everyone would fall prostrate
at their their feet and they would speak with the same respect as if
talking to My Son. "
Marie-Julie:
"It is true, dear Mother, but the dignity of the priest is no
longer respected."
Lady.
"But my daughter, many (priests) do not know how to respect
themselves, words that tear the heart of the High Priest (i.e Jesus),
my children, I see that the spirit weakens every day. The thought of
the present time makes it difficult to choose, the side they prefer
to follow. My children, many pastors are not, as many of our priests,
determined to die in their honour and sacred ministry. They no longer
know the true royalty of the souls of our fathers; for the great
part, their thoughts, their opinions are for those who now govern
this poor country." (i.e., a revelation that the
clergy at the time were supporting the republican / secular
government of France and were against the restoration of the absolute
monarchy.)
Our
Lady is crying, saying these words. She continues:
"What
a shame ere long will be on the priestly family. What a disgrace for
the overthrow of the faith and (to) attach (themselves?)
to the laws of these unfortunates of the Center (I.e.
The government) that make so much evil and that
wants to make the home of My Saints a theatre, a place of hellish
abomination. My children, there is only our priests (who
oppose it?), the Bishops, the biggest number is in
that direction (i.e., following
the hellish regime); there is hardly any from the
other one (the
side of faithful priests), so that it is almost,
almost as if there is needed only one second to name them all."
Marie-Julie:
“O Good Mother, it is painful when you think of it!”
Our
Lady. "O My children, I know well to whom I speak. Oh that my
words were heard outside, it would weaken many people because of the
weakness of the clergy." (i.e., Many
faithful people might lose their courage when hearing these warnings
about how weak the clergy has become.)
"My
children, do you believe, can you believe that Centre, South, in the
East, (In Paris, the
South and East of France) the Bishops will abandon the
Church without regret, without thinking of anything other than 'every
man for himself', in the epoch in which we are (in)?"
"My
children, in all the new Bishops, there is not an entire generation
of faith, there is above all a belief in the weakness against My Son;
they will never be
forgiven.
They do not deny His powers, but they do not admit that My Son uses
the earth to make (all) pass towards the good, the salvation and
protection of souls (the social reign of Our Lord). (i.e.,
They do not believe that Our Lord uses everything on earth for His
purpose of saving souls, including natural phenomena and disasters?)
Oh, they will be punished for their unbelief and the punishment is in
the Hands of My Son. The clergy is weak; the French clergy, a great
number shall turn towards the perishable side (i.e., the
evil side). The French clergy will be punished because of
its levities; shining punishments without measure in the hands of My
Son. My children, the French clergy is more responsible because it is
more educated (i.e., in
spiritual matters), religion is more extensive (with them)
than any other country. Catholicism has existed in France when other
countries were not very Catholic; for that, they will be punished
more severely. But everywhere, the clergy is bad everywhere, my
children!"
